[Naked Crook]

Black 1 saw Sigma Squad and TF117, as well as several Agents moving forward. Black 1: Black 4...hurry it up! Black 1 took cover and laid down a hail of suppressive fire against Sigma Squad, TF117, and The Agent squad. Black 1 swept right across his field of view, forcing all of the ONI forces coming from Charlie Wing into cover. Black 4: First charge set...moving onto second charge! Boss...I recommend we call some of those Brute and Elites back. Thery might provide some helpful cover! Black 1: Negative...I need them to push to Alpha. Don't worry Black 4...I can hold these assholes off! Black 1 drew his automag. He held his assault rifle in one hand, and his automag in the other. He continued to fire, his suppressive fire keeping ONI at bay. Meanwhile: The Dreadhawk and The Infinity's Voyage moved into position. They had reached the end of the ion trail. Burke: Signla Captain Cochraine...inform her we are about to blanket this area in archer missiles. Tell her establish a wide range firing patter, random vectors! I want to be sure to hit every spec of dust neat the origin of that ion trail. ONI Officer: Aye sir. Burke: Prep our weapon systems and prepare to fire on my mark! Meanwhile: Kolya and Damien were on the bridge of The Ulterior Motive. The entire crew had proceeded to battle stations. Kolya: Check the status of the stealth systems! Are they still online!? Trust Officer: Aye sir...stealth is still functioning! Kolya: How the hell did they find us!? Trust Officer: I am not sure sir. Shall I take evasive action!? Kolya: Yes! Bring the weapons online and the engines to full. Looks like we are going to have a fight on our hands after all. Damien looked at Kolya. Damien: Sir...are you sure engaging ONI is a good idea? They have us out numbered. Kolya: There is no way we will survive if they bombard the area. I am not going to sit on my hands and be destroyed without a fight. Damien sighed. Damien: Sir...do you think we should signal for backup? If we contact the nearest battle group...we can even the odds in less than 5 minutes! Kolya: Do it! Signal the closest Trust ships and order them here at best possible speeds! All hands...prepare for battle! Meanwhile: An ONI Pelican landed on the roof of Delta Wing. Commander Temple, along with 6 other ODSTs, and HAWK, exited the Pelican. HAWK: Commander...we need to make our way to the Epsilon Wing sub basement. From there...I can get the defenses back online! Temple: Understood! Teple looked at the ODSTs. Temple: Take point boys! Lead the way...and pave the road!
